Comments
When individuals leave comments on our website, we collect the information displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This data helps us detect and prevent spam.
If you have an email address linked to your comment, an anonymized string (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Data Retention
When you leave a comment, the comment itself and its associated metadata will be retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them for manual moderation.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users have the ability to view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for the username, which cannot be changed). Website administrators also have access to view and modify this information.

Additionally, you have the right to request the deletion of any personal data we have stored about you. However, this does not include any data we are legally or administratively obligated to retain for security, legal, or administrative purposes.
